A weekly ride to the Fort Portal Dialysis Unit for Mwende

A rota of drivers to the Fort Portal Dialysis Unit would keep Mwende on treatment. Even one trip a week helps.

Fort Portal
Mwende has been on dialysis for 2 years and until recently drove to the Fort Portal Dialysis Unit alone. After surgery on their hand, Mwende can no longer drive. Taxis cost more than the family can pay three times a week. We're building a rota of volunteer drivers. Each session is 3 hours, including the trip there and back; most volunteers take one regular day. The journey is about 9 km each way. Mwende is cheerful company. You'd need a car in good condition and a clean driving record. We'll cover your fuel costs, and the family will send you home with homemade food. Please say which day works for you in the comments. You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

      Stay strong, Eunice. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money.

        Best of luck, Eunice. Get well soon. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Greetings from Warren.
